Fear is Learned

[Guest guest]

Very true. Zoologists did some experiments with monkey and chimps. The

ones raised with adults had huge fear reactions against snakes, while

those raised by humans and not taught to fear snakes would handle snakes

and be very curious about them.

 

It's important to remember that fear is learned, because if you do an

inventory of your fears, you'll discover many of them were implanted in

you by society as control devices.

have these weapons at all. "
